The ANZMaps Committee welcomes you to submit an abstract as your application to present at our one-day symposium, held at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, 1 May 2024. It precedes a public lecture and workshop on 2 and 3 May 2024 organised by the University of Western Australia exploring the history and legacies of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the Indian Ocean World. Drawing on this theme, the symposium explores the cartography of the Indian Ocean World reflecting its role in shaping human knowledge, culture and history from antiquity to present. Since ancient times this vast expanse of water has been an important area for trading and exchanging goods, people, culture, and knowledge.
The Indian Ocean is central to the world’s climate and biodiversity, its human trade and history. Mapping the Indian Ocean has been key to our understanding and we welcome papers on any aspects of its cartography.
This conference will be an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues in the fields of cartography and surveying, and in related fields where mapping has played a key role.
We welcome contributions from our members, academics, collectors, dealers, researchers, curators, practising cartographers and anyone with an interest in maps to submit proposals for papers on a topic of their choice relating to the symposium theme.
Submission of abstracts should include:

Notification of acceptance: 11 March 2024
